We were thrilled to announce the winner of Bougie Dogwear’s very first #BougieStyleStar contest on Bluesky: the stunning and spirited greyhound, Story! 🎉✨ This special pup’s charm, unique personality, and fabulous flair captured our hearts and made her the perfect choice for this honor. But what makes Story’s win even more special is the incredible story behind her—both her name and her journey.
A Story Worth Telling
Story’s journey began on a greyhound farm in Kansas, where she was born. Although she was given a racing name, she never competed on the track. Instead, her destiny was to find a loving forever home. Story, along with several other rescue greyhounds, made a long journey across the country to Maryland. Their travels were documented on Facebook, and one family was watching every step of the way.
“I want the white one,” said Story’s soon-to-be human sibling. When the transport finally arrived, they went to pick out their new pup. The rescue offered them “the easiest puppy of the bunch,” but fate had other plans. There in the yard stood the white one—beautiful, dramatic, and impossible to keep clean. It was love at first sight. 💕
From Drama Queen to Pink Polka-Dotted Princess
Six years later, Story has more than lived up to her early description. Her mom lovingly calls her “an impossible to keep clean drama queen.” But over the years, this once-tough-and-tumble puppy has blossomed into a regal lady with an eye-catching coat of spots. Her mom now calls her the “pink polka-dotted princess”—a title that couldn’t suit her more perfectly.
When Story’s mom saw our pink beaded collar, she immediately knew it was made for her princess. And she was right! Story looks absolutely stunning in it, and it highlights her unique beauty and confident personality.
A Star in Every Way
Story’s vivacious spirit, dazzling good looks, and her mom’s heartfelt words about her made her an easy choice for our first #BougieStyleStar. We loved hearing how much this collar means to her family and seeing the gorgeous photos of Story modeling her new look. Her elegance and charm perfectly embody what Bougie Dogwear is all about: celebrating the unique style and personality of every dog.
